Are you an expert? In another comment you made the extraordinary claim, substantiated by absolutely no one and no organization of any authority at all (just the standard conspiracy noise and rhetoric that is simply deplorable. It is the domain of the worst, and appears immediately after any event), that the plane was shot down by Ukranian fighter jets. Which...wow.
Your credibility among most intellectual people sits somewhere around "none".
The general notion is that these were people operating a weapon system they had limited knowledge of, and motivated by their success the day earlier were a little trigger happy. And FWIW, most weapon systems do not tell you what kind of aircraft you're pointing at (this isn't the movies). Recall the USS Vincennes, with the most advanced fire control system in the world at the time (certainly far more advanced than this unit), shooting down an Iranian jetliner that was ascending and squawking civilian airliner transponder codes.
I would find a study of the brains of conspiracy fanatics fascinating. There is something fundamentally broken there.
For one I didn't say it was shot down by Ukrainian fighter jets, don't put words in my mouth. For two, nowhere did I say it was certain or obvious. I did not claim it either. Watch your arguments, bud. And personal attacks? Please.
